Just had a thought a few days ago, and I may be wrong because I forget things.
But, was the Ancient Alliance formed before or after Pegasus? See, to me it seems like the Ancients only sought out the other races after they got back from Atlantis because they were so distraught/had nothing to do.
The room in that episode with the flying molecules suggests that at the start of the Alliance they had difficulty in communicating with one another, verbally at least. Now, assuming that that marks a very early stage of the alliance, we can look at the castle to determine how old it is. I really doubt the castle is millions of years old, I mean, the pyramids have only been around a few thousand years and they're falling apart in favorable conditions, imagine a several million year old castle in a European/Tropical/American climate?
I'd say the castle is <10,000 years old, coinciding with the Ancients return to MW. This would also mean that the Furling sanctuary would only be a few thousand years old instead of a few million, making more sense for the Goa'uld to be around.
I also have another thought on the Ancients DNA mutators and Ancient suppositories. I think that those two devices represented a last ditch effort to create more Alteran level humans, perhaps even to artificially evolve ally humans whom they trust. Once those people are evolved they could send them off to the Ancient suppority to bring them up to speed with all the knowledge of the Ancients, including Pegasus.
The above theory could tie in nicely with Arthur, who I reckon Merlin evolved articifially in order to bring him to the brink of ascension. Perhaps the reason Arthur had to go to three different places was to acquire information from several different suppositories that contained clues on the whereabouts of the Holy Grail.
Think of it this way, the suppositories are a complicated and vast library of the ENTIRE Alterran race, so they're big with a lot of info. Perhaps Merlin hid tiny shreds of data in each suppository as to not alert the Ancients, and forcing you to have all of the bits in order to know exactly where to find the Holy Grail.
Also, I believe that technically it might be simpler for us all to call the Alterrans just that, the O'ri the same and use the term Ancient to encompass the entire race as a whole? Just makes sense to me since they're both pretty damn old races..
And yeah, I'm saying suppository on purpose to remind us of the O'ri toilet seat.
